ThepracticaluseoftheGangingfunctionconsistsin thepossibility ofeditingwithidenticalvaluestheparametersofsimilarelements, carryingoutsingle(instead ofdouble)operations.
For example,it's possible to setthesameDelayvalueor equalization onboth inputswithjustone operation;orsetidenticalXover parametersforthevariousoutputsfedtoa stereosoundsystem;oryetagain,enable theLIMITERsimultaneouslyon thetwooutputsdedicated to two mono stagemonitors.
Thesystemautomatically recognizesincompatibleelementscontainedinthevariousconfigurationsandonlyenables theGanging function whereit can effectivelybeused.Therefore,the Gangingfunctiondoesn'thaveany effectontheMONOsetups.TheGangingfunctioncanbeenabled separatelyfor bothgroupsof inputandgroups ofoutputs.
IMPORTANT: Preciselyforitscharacteristics,the Gangingfunctionaffectsthewayinwhichtherelativepara-meters audio areeditedor represented:AssoonasInputsand/orOutputs areganged,thevariousmenupagesonlyshow thevaluesthatcan actuallybeused. This however doesn'tmean that thevalues change immediately.Onthecontrary,the valuesremainunchanged(Evenif notshown)untilnewvaluesareentered.Onlyatthatpoint ganged,Inputsand/orOutputsassumethesamevaluewiththejustoneoperation.
Forexample,evenifthedisplayshows that"Input A&B" are gangedin thepage with a certain parameter,thevalue shownremainsthatofInputAuntilanewvalueisentered,asInputBdoesn'tautomatically assumethevalues of InputA.
Thisconditionisusedtoavoidaccidentalortemporaryenablingofthe Ganging function from changingthevaluesofallthe storedPRESET.Therulecanbe summedupas follows: "onlythe values thathavetobeintentionallychangedarechanged".Sogenerallyspeaking, toavoid contradictions, oversightsandconfusion between whatisshownandwhatiseffectivelycarriedout,itsadvisabletoenabletheGangingfunctionsbeforestartingtoeditaPRESET.Moreover,itsbesttomakecertaintoeffectivelyset the requiredvalue,manuallyconfirming all theparametersrequired.Note: Theelements inGangingassume the "new"valueassoonas the DIALchangesthestatusofthe"old"value. So,ifthevaluewhichhastobeallocated tothe elementsinGanging is the same asthe old value,it'snecessaryto use the DIAL, temporarily c hange the value(evenonly byonestep) andthengobackto the"old"value.
